Country music stars have made endless contributions to the fashion world.

Today, country music continues to influence fashion trends.

Nevertheless, western wear owes a lot of its popularity to its biggest purveyors: country singers.

Since then, Parton has become a pop culture icon thanks to her incredible talent and her inspiring philanthropy.

That said, you might be curious to knowwhat it’s really like to be Dolly Parton.

After all, the country star undoubtedly enjoys a fabulous life of wealth, privilege, and public admiration.

Parton’s wardrobe slip-up happened during the 1978 CMA Awards.

While ascending the stage, the singer carried a massive fur coat to cover up her torso.

During her speech, Parton revealed the reason for her oddball accessory.

“I had this dress made in case I won,” she told the audience.

This could have been a sartorial nightmare, but Parton tackled it with her trademark humor and charm.

In 2011, Swift performed in St. Louis wearing a purple halter dress.

In reaction to the incident, Swift finished belting her song while laughing and coyly twisting her blonde ponytail.

Ultimately, the runaway skirt went down in history as one ofTaylor Swift’s biggest wardrobe malfunctions yet.

Take Carrie Underwood, for example, who uses a clever hack to avoid giving an inadvertent peep show.

Unfortunately, even the singer’s trusty shorts couldn’t rescue her from an injurious wardrobe malfunction in 2013.

The fateful wardrobe mishap occurred while Underwood was playing a concert in Corpus Christi, Texas.

During her performance, the “American Idol” alum wore a flowy white blouse with a long train.

She paired the look with leather pants and stiletto boots.

She immediately fell backward, landing hard on her bottom.

After the fall, Underwood continued to push through her performance.

A few hours later, the country starlet opened up about the fall onX, formerly known as Twitter.

“I can’t move my toes,” she wrote.

“Is that bad?”

After getting checked out by a doctor, Underwood posted another update on social media.

This time, she shared a photo of her leg, which was strapped into a medical boot.

“Good news, it’s not broken,” the singertweeted.

“AND I got some new footwear!”

To make matters worse, Owen wasn’t wearing underwear that day.

Thankfully, the quick-witted singer came up with a genius way to conceal his goodies.

In the wake of his wardrobe snafu, Owen made light of the situation on social media.

“Charleston, SC will never be forgotten,” he wrote onX.

“My jeans ripped on stage tonight.

Going commando = bad idea.

Although, great breeze here.

In a separatetweet, he quipped, “Tonight was totally ‘nuts’ in Charleston.”

Her stage ensemble included a nude bodycon dress featuring sequin panels on the front and back.

Ultimately, Musgraves pulled off the performance without a hitch.

Her dress stayed perfectly in place, leaving viewers none the wiser about her non-existent undies.

However, Musgraves found the situation totally hilarious, and she couldn’t keep her amusement to herself.

During a backstage interview, the country crooner told the world about her commando moment.

“Right before I sang, my panties totally came off,“Musgraves confessed.

“They were the stick-on kind look at this dress, there’s not much to work with.

Musgraves added that her stick-on panties were probably still lurking on the floor somewhere backstage.

During a show in Orlando, Bryan unknowingly stepped onstage with his pants unzipped.

The country crooner stopped in the middle of a song, shouting at his band to cut the music.

Fortunately, the hitmaker was quick to bounce back from his wardrobe snafu.

After zipping up his pants, Bryan immediately started the show back up.

Shortly after the zipper debacle, Bryant dished about the awkward moment to “Entertainment Tonight.”

“The fly was down, the zipper was down.”

During the fateful moment, Wilson was performing at the Faster Horses festival in Michigan.

The “Dirty Looks” singer stepped onstage in purple bell bottoms and a leather fringe vest.

Unfortunately, things took a chaotic turn when the back of her pants tore wide open.

They quickly alerted the singer, who rushed off-stage for an emergency wardrobe change.

She spoke to the audience, acknowledging how close she’d come to an utterly cheeky disaster.

“Y’all just about got a real show.

A real show!,” the country star declared.

Despite her seam-splitting moment, Wilson didn’t skip a beat.

In 2024, the country star suffered a wardrobe malfunction that caused quite the controversy.

Things got awkward when Morris took the stage for Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July Picnic.

Videos of the incident went viral, prompting a flood of speculation.

Others accused Morris of staging the entire situation for publicity.

In an interview forCosmopolitan’s Cheap Shot, Morris put all the rumors to rest.

“I was wearing underwear.

It was nude underwear.”

When asked if the malfunction was intentional, Morris clarified, “It wasn’t a publicity stunt.”

Just ask country starKelsea Ballerini, who has a higher net worth than you might think.

However, even the most lavish apparel can be a recipe for wardrobe malfunctions.

Ballerini learned this the hard way in 2025.

While playing a show in Nashville, the singer donned a pink tube-top dress with a swishy feathered skirt.

She paired the look with fishnet tights and pink high-heeled boots.

After finishing one of her songs, the singer sat down and began yanking off her boot.

“I have something important to say right now,” Ballerini told concertgoers.

“I’m going to take one second longer than I should.

And I might need help.

I have a new outfit tonight.

This is the new outfit.”

She added, “I think the stuff that you put in the toe is still in it.

It is, no it is.”

After locating the pesky tissue paper, Ballerini handed it off to a lucky fan.
